How to Clean and Maintain Wood Surfaces in Your Studio HENK Furniture

Introduction

At Studio HENK, we design furniture that combines aesthetic beauty with sustainable, circular design principles. Proper care and maintenance are essential to preserve both the look and longevity of your wooden furniture. This guide will help you clean and maintain your wood surfaces effectively while respecting the natural materials and sustainability values we uphold.

Why Cleaning Wood Surfaces is Important

Regular cleaning removes dirt, dust, and oils that can degrade wood finishes and diminish the natural beauty of your furniture. By following appropriate cleaning methods, you support the durability of the piece and maintain its functionality and aesthetic appeal over time.

Materials Needed

• Soft, lint-free cloth or microfiber cloth
• Mild, pH-neutral soap (optional)
• Clean water
• Wood conditioner or natural oil (as recommended)
• Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or ammonia-based products

Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions

1. Dust the furniture regularly using a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt.
2. For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen a cloth with clean water mixed with a few drops of mild soap.
3. Wipe the wooden surface gently, following the grain of the wood to avoid damage.
4. Immediately dry the surface thoroughly with a dry cloth to prevent moisture absorption.
5. Occasionally, apply a suitable wood conditioner or natural oil to nourish the wood and maintain its finish, following the product’s instructions.

Tips and Best Practices

• Avoid placing your wooden furniture in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent fading and drying.
• Use coasters and placemats to protect surfaces from spills and heat marks.
• Clean spills immediately to prevent staining.
• For customized pieces, refer to any specific care instructions provided at purchase.
